Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 3

6 medium russet potatoes (2 3/4 pounds total), peeled
6 tablespoons butter, melted
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Using a food processor with a slicing blade or a sharp knife, slice potatoes as thinly as possible, 1/4 inch thick or thinner. (Do not place sliced potatoes in water; the starch is needed to bind the layers.)
  • Brush bottom of a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with 1 1/2 tablespoons butter. Starting in center of pan, arrange potato slices, slightly overlapping, in circular pattern, covering surface. Brush with another 1 1/2 tablespoons butter; season well with salt and pepper. Repeat for two more layers.
  • Place over high heat until butter in pan sizzles, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Transfer to oven; bake until potatoes are fork-tender, about 1 hour. Remove from oven. Run a small spatula around edges of potatoes; slide large spatula underneath potatoes to loosen. Carefully invert onto a plate, and cut into wedges.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect thin potato slices, a mandoline is highly recommended. If you don't have one, use a sharp knife and be sure to slice the potatoes as thinly as possible.
  • If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular skillet, but be sure to preheat it over medium-high heat until it's very hot before adding the potatoes.
  • Use a good quality butter or olive oil. This will add flavor to the potatoes and help them brown nicely.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. Cook the potatoes in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the potatoes undisturbed for several minutes until they start to brown on the bottom. Then, flip them and cook for several more minutes until they're browned on both sides and tender.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:
